I would definitely buy the 10.1 again. I got bored with my Ipad 3 after 6 months, barely would pick it up. I got my GN 10.1 back in September last year and I use it for hours every night. I can't wait every night to have my down time with my Tablet. It's also brought back my love of Drawing which I did a lot when younger, but now I do so much, it brings a lot of joy to be drawing again. I think drawing digitally is the way of the future, because when you make mistakes on pencil and paper, you have to redraw everything and erase. I like being able to digitally edit the drawings if there are mistakes.
No other tablet out there I think is worth the extra $, like the surface, when this tablet does all I need it to do.
